Slow Arsenical Poisoning.

/ have read great deal In the papers
about slow poisoning processes, but only
believed the various statements when
they were brought home to me. MY
wife, who had been remarkable for her
rugged health and rosy appearance, began
to fade away. She dwindlsd to mere
shadow, and yet she reiterated statements
of good health. Finally, I insisted on
calling in doctor Of high standing, after
an emphatic protest from our regular
physician. A long diagnosis decided that
my wife was suffering from arsenical
poisoning drawn into the system from o
cheap set OF false teeth, which had been
purchased about week before the first
symptoms of weakness had been observed.
Arsenic had been used In tho enamel 70

Senator Daniel, Of Virginia, like many
other southern men, Is an admfrer and
lover of fine horsefesh. He was going
the other day to run over to the trotting
races at Hartford when he saids ut must
eventually come about that the trotting
races will be popular, because It is in this
gait that the horse combines utility with
speedy action. It is as the roadster that
the horse is most available for pleasure
and practical service. In recent article
written by Judge Hughes, OF Richmond,
saw theory advanced in reference to
the development In the trotting gait which
I think I have rot seen mentioned before.
The thoroughbred animal is to be found
on the great plains and level stretches Of
the country, where his natural gait fs
running. The trotting gait, Judge Hugh
thinks, comes to the animal as he Is tranF-
ferred to undulating countries, where ne
is obliged to adapt his footing to rising
and falling thoroughfares. That would
be the natural development OF the run
ming thoroughbreds into the trotters. II
is, Of course, to the Thoroughbred that

There are 400 Mormon bishops in Utah,

wards of eight or nine blocks each, and o
bishop is put in charge of each ward.
Under him there are two teachers, whose
business it is to learn the employment

west, had their share in weakening the
organization, but the chief cause was the
Home Club of New York, which became
Powderly's master. Two years ago
Powderly denounced the Home Club.
This year the country saw the spectacle
Of Powderly, the apostle OF justice, equal
ity and fairness, the abject tool OF the
Home Club, presiding over a packed con-
vention in Richmond, overturning the
constitution of the organization, usurping
the Office of General Master Workman
OF the constitution, and conniving at an
illegal increase OF salary from 81 800 to
$1,000 year. Why did Powderly throw
to the winds his professions OF simplicity
and take his munifcent salary in defiance
of the wishes of the vast majority of his
Order? Why did he countenance the
tactics of the ward caucus and surrender
to the Home Club? The answer is
patent. Powderly craved power. lie
could not bear to descend from the des-
potic throne OF the Master Workman
The salary was the golden apple, and he
fell. 1t is, then, ridiculous for Master
Workman Powderly to strive to attribute
the trouble among the Knights to the
influence OF Anarchists. A hundred evil
influences have been at work to ruin a
grand body of hard working, honest men,
and the chief of all evil influences have
been corrupt, despotic, blind leaders.
The Knights deserved better after theil
years of intelligent work, and their deter.
mination to break loose from the central
body and go back to the old district
organizations is to be applauded.

THE DEMANDS OF THE PEOPLE

A month ago the DEMOCRAT announced
its intention of reducing its price to fifty
cents, and giving to Salt Lake good,
live newspaper on lines laid down in
older and more populous cities. The
management felt confident that the citi-
zens OF Salt Lake would support the new
departure. They have more than real
lied our anticipatons, and our circulation
has more than doubled since December
10th, until the DEMOCRAT has now the
largest circulation in the city. In claim
ing the largest city circulation we do not
mean to vent an empty boast, but speak
of actual figures We have to-day more
readers in Salt Lake than the Tribune,
the Herald or the Ne,OS, and we challenge
each and all OF them to print the names
of their subscribers. Our subscription
books are open to the inspection OF any
one sufficiently interested to inquire into
the matter. We make no secret OF our
business. To claim a city circulation OF
two thousand in great city would be to
make paper ridiculous. But in Salt
Lake, where the factional feeling runs to
such q height as to cause three-fifths OF
the population to refuse to read the jour
nails of the minority, the figures are fiat
tering, the more so that more than one
half have been added through popular
appreciation within four weeks. The
city circulation is growing at the rate OF
twenty five day, and we confidently ex-
pect to add fully 800 additional subscribers
to our books before the close OF the month
of January.
In order that all may have an oppor-
tunity Of judging the merits of the DEMO
Graf, we now propose to send it one week
free on trial to anyone who will drop a
postal card with his or her address, or
who will leave the address at this office,
Nos. 69x7l West Second South street.
The paper will be delivered by carrier
without charge, and at the expiration OF
the week the carrier may be ordered to
stop delivering; or il it is wished to con-
tinue the paper, no further notice is re-
quired, and at the end OF the fifth week a
bill for fifty cents for one month will be
presented. We take this means OF en-
abing all to see and know the DEMOCRAT.

NO COMPROMISE.

We notice in an Eastern exchange that
there is movement on foot for what is
termed compromise" upon the silver
question. The proposition in effect is the
continuance OF the present rate OF coinage
until the aggregate issue of silver amounts
to $50O,000,000. This, with what has
been already coined under the law, would
require between five and six years to
reach the limit. The names of the lead
ers of the movement are not given, but it
is safe to presume that they will not be
recognized as those that have been iden
tilted with the bi-metallic interest 1t is
to be hoped that the real friends of silver
will not countenance proposition OF that
character. The silver men at the last
session OF Congress underestimated their
own strength, and were frightened into a
defensive instead OF an aggressive policy.
Had they stood firm, pushed the free
coinage bill, listening to no compromise
proposition, they could have passed it in
the Lower House with perhaps an even
chance OF carrying it through the Senate.
The President would probably have
vetoed it, but the passage of the bill,
even if it failed to become law, would
have been signal triumph for the white
metal. 1t would have settled the matter
OF unfriendly legislation, weakened the
Administrator opposition to continued
coinage, and laid the foundation for
bringing the matter SO directly before
the public that it would necessarily be
made a prominent issue in the next
Presidential campaign. There is not
particle OF danger of the repeal or modif-
cation OF the present law by this Congress-.
The action OF the House last session
clearly demonstrated that the feeling was
favorable to at least the maximum rate
designated by the existing statute, if not
for absolute unrestricted coinage. What,
then, is to be gained by limiting the con-
tinuance OF the law, or specifying the
aggregate amount which shall be coined
under it? Such measure would be
barrier to any friendly legislation for the
next five or six years at least. The people
of the Nation are inclining more and
more every day towards bi-metallism and
free coinage, and it would be the acme
OF folly on the part OF the silver men to
consider any compromise based upon the
suspension OF the coin issue at any period,
however distant.

GERONIMO ASTONISHED.
Surprise Party That Made Ills
Hair stand Oh End.

They tell me funny story about
Geronimo" said man from Arizona at
the Palmer House, Chicago, recently.
"While the Apaches were raiding the
ranches in the foothills of New Mexico,
they captured white man who had false
teeth, glass eye and cork leg. The
unfortunate man was dragged into the
hills where the Indians were encamped
and strapped to tree to die. Just be-
fore dusk Geronimo happened to pass the
prisoner, who had succeeded in releasing
one OF his arms from the leather strap
which bound him to the tree.
Ugh" grunted the big Apache chief,
punching the white man with the muzzle
OF his Winchester
The prisoner thrust his hand into his
mouth, removed his teeth and shook
them in the face of the Apache. This
done, he replaced the plates as quickly as
he had removed them, and plucking out
his glass eye began polishing it on his
knee. Geronimo had seen good many
things in his life, but the sight of
a man removing his teeth and eyes at
Will was enough to make the savage's
hair stand on end. Without waiting to
strip the prisoner OF his clothes, as was
their custom, the Apache released the
neryy fellow, and putting him astride a
horse, fairly begged him to leave the
camp. The settler needed no second in
vitation. Selling the animal by the
name he rode few yards out into the
opening, when to the horror OF the saw
ages who had been watching his flight, he
took off his cork leg and waved it above
his head. 1t is said on good authority
that this is the first instance on record
where the superstition OF an Apache got
the better OF his knife"

POWDERLY's sELF-DEFENsE.

The Knights OF Labor are going the
way OF all similar organizations in this
country, and in their inception, growth
and decline we see nothing different from
the history OF dozen others except in
degree. Organized for mutual protection
by level-headed men of integrity, it
welded together many branches of labor,
until it astonished the world with its
vigor. Then the seeds of disorder and
ruin were sown. Not content with secur-
ing the elevation OF the workingman, the
leaders paid more attention to the eleva-
ton of the leaders. Master Workman
Powderly became spoiled. He grew surly
and high-handed with the newspapers,
insulted reporters, and carried himself
with high-handedness that would have
raised universal howl of execration had
the President of the United States as
sumed similar airs. still, Powderly was
an honest man, But power and ambition
had spoiled him.
